The good- we saw many pelagics such as mantas and sharks and eagle ray and turtles. A highlight was encountering tiger sharks. Most dives were current channel dives at 100 feet.

The bad - the dive guides were friendly but marginal in their experience with this dive locations. On a number of the dives the drop location was wrong and we had to either kick against the current or miss the spot.

The boat was tired and the air con was inadequate.

The food was average.
